The oppressed
THE most important weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed — Steve Biko.

Opinion poll
Reference is made to one Nishant Singh’s response to my input in your daily. In one breath he wants to accept his democratic right and in the next he tells me that I have no right to comment in Fiji’s political affairs. Whew! Hypocrisy at its peak!

I believe it is public knowledge that the political atmosphere of a country can eventually transform dreamers into doubters. So think carefully before acting, people!

Solar energy
AS a nation we are failing to take maximum advantage of free solar energy. The Government has done its part by making solar panels and accessories duty free. It would assist further if the products were put under strict price control and if the FEA followed California’s example and permitted solar energy generated by private residences to be fed into the FEA power grid via inverter meters, and paying domestic users for the surplus power they generate. Ultimately it would be cheaper for the FEA and the nation than importing fuel oil.

E-transport
When they introduced ATM cards the banks laid off tellers and introduced all sorts of charges. Now with this E-transport card we have to go and put money in the cards and then only can we ride the bus. We have to keep doing this … where is the advantage?

Out and about
FREE chocolate bar to the person who can guess why our politicians are suddenly out and about attentively gracing their presence in cane belts, social and even holy gatherings to passionately “listen” and promptly address the concerns of the common people. Clue? 2018!

Thank you
ON behalf of my relatives and friends who live on Sandalwood St in Lautoka, I wish to thank Fiji Roads Authority for the repairs done. The junction of Sandalwood and Vomo streets used to be like riding a bucking horse. Anyway thank you guys. Now we surf silently over the road.
